going through electronic "trash"

For the longest time I've held onto my Myspace account simply for the fact that I could "pimp it out" but that is no longer the case so I am in the process of deleting it. I had over a thousand pictures on there! I'm letting the ex copy what pics of himself he wants and then it'll be deleted. I went through my 'blogs' on there and decided to post them here for general reading. Now these four poem/short story/musing are from a very personal point of view mainly when I was with my ex. However I won't let that fact keep me from saving them...If you want to use these just give me credit ok? Here they are....

What I see in Him

She kissed him lightly on the lips and
pushed away from his embrace.
His blue eyes watched her every move -
she wished he could see what she saw.
His clothes were worn and baggy.
His hair long, a beard hid his face.
But underneath it all she could see a faint glow.
When she told him, he said he didn’t believe, couldn’t see it.
But she could and that’s why she had given him the key.
She walked away from him, every step a heartache.
Then she stopped and turned back.
His brilliant eyes were still on her.
Then he looked down at the key in his hand.
So she stretched out her hand towards him.
Please?! She thought, oh please.
Be the One.
Be the one for me.
No.
It's his choice.
Don’t cry.
Please? Use the key.
Choose me.
Choose to be with me!
It's his choice.
You wont die if he doesn't choose you.
You’ll just feel like it.
Maybe you’ll just dissolve in your tears.
Please?
Use the key!
USE THE DAMN KEY!
No….
It's his choice.
Oh please?!
I love you!


He looked back up at her,
his face full of sadness doubt yearning
and hope.
A silent tear escaped her brown eyes
to slide down her face as she watched him take a deep breath…..

To Be with Me

They seemed to glow, shine almost.
They weren't snow white like everyone said.
White, yes but there were speckles of grey and black.
She had said that she wasn't perfect.
But she was to him.
Perfect and unique and normal and beautiful…
He had known from the moment they met that she was special.
And the more time he spent with her,
the more he was sure she was.
How could she be so normal but so unique?
She was so beautiful,
her smile made his mind go numb and his heart skip a beat.
He still can hardly believe that she loves him…
She made him so happy.
He watched her walk away,
her wings shining in the shadow of the building
and fading in the sunlight.
Her glow never changed though.
And then -
she stopped and turned back to him.
He looked down at the key that she had given him.
It matched the lock around his feet.
He looked back up,
her hand was outstretched towards him.
Her face a mixture of hope and sadness…
and determination.
He looked back at the key and took a deep breath….

Hopeful Future

The sound of the alarm yanked him from the depths of his slumber.
Quickly he raised a hand to the small box and silence filled the air yet again.
As he lay in the dimly lit room he became aware of his surroundings.
He lay on his side with his other arm holding onto her arm that was around his chest.
He could feel her there - snuggled up behind him - they’re legs tangled together.
He could feel the fingers of her other hand twitch with or from sleep in his hair.
And he could feel her breath whisper at his neck which sent a thrill through him.
He stayed there for as long as he could but eventually he had to get up.
Slowly he slid off the bed and out of her embrace.
As he moved, her fingers lightly dug into his skin and then released only to dig in again.
Even in her sleep she didn’t want to let him go.
He knew that was her secret fear.
He understood - it was his fear as well.
Then when all that was left touching were
their fingertips she sighed in her sleep as her hand dropped back to the bed.

His heart learched at the sad look on her face; she was so beautiful even when she was asleep -
even when she was sad.
Oh - he loved her so -
everyday his love for her deepened and grew.
A small smile tugged at his mouth as he watched her take his pillow and hug it to her chest.
He took a step forward and,
leaning over,
gently kissed her forehead,
her cheek and
ever so softly
her lips.
Then he walked away and began to get ready for work.

No more, Now, Someday

No more -

no more will I feel his arms around me.
No more will our lips hover over eachother sending chills and thirlls through me.
No more will I look up into his face and see the beauty hidden there.
No more will our fingers intertwine.
No more will my fingers trace his skin, finding the softest spots or the strangest curves or the outline of his tattoo.
No more will my phone connect me to him.
No more will I hear him say "I love you".
No more will I plan my life with him.

Now -
now my heart stummbles at everything that reminds me of him.
Now I cry at the drop of a hat.
Now I hate that I still love him.
Now I hate that I want him back.
Now I hate that I dont.
Now I feel reduced back to nothing.
Now I feel less than I was.
Now I have a hard time watching movies or listening to music without remembering him or thinking of my current state.
Now I have to find out who I am and what I really want.
Now I leave behind the life I had waited my whole life to have.

Someday -
someday I will get over him.
Someday I will move on.
Someday I will be able to think about him and not have my heart hurt.
Someday I won't cry over him.
Someday life wont remind me of him.
Someday another will find me.
Someday I will have everything I ever wanted.
Someday I will be free of this heartache.
Someday I will be happy again.

ITS OFFICIAL!!!

OK so for the 3 of my followers here is my most recent update! lol

At the beginning of the year I was thinking of resolutions and what I wanted to do with my life. School was on the list. I knew that I didn't want to go to school in Vegas just as I knew that I wanted to go to school in Cedar City. But I knew that I'd have to move there, wait a year while working so that I could get residency so that it wouldn't be so expensive. But there was no place for me with my sisters and I already had a very good paying job here in Vegas. So it went on the back burner... until recently.

About a month ago...maybe not even that long my dad said to me "I don't want you to get offended but I think its time you moved back to Cedar and went to school." I chuckled and said "I've actually already been thinking about it." I had become increasingly unhappy with my job and wanted out. So I had been mulling over the idea of a move to Cedar for a while. But here was my ... rough spot; Where was I to live? Where would I work and how would I get around? (I have no car) My oldest and youngest sisters currently live in Cedar with our adopted sister Katie. Katie is the only one with a car... So in search of advice I texted my little sister and asked her if she could talk for a bit. I told her that when dad starts saying what I'm thinking...its a sign - I think its time for me to move back to Cedar. She posed the same questions that I was worried about; Time frame? After Katie getts married in May ... so there will be room for me. "Genius. Didn't even think of that." ( it was pretty late when we had this conversation lol) Where would I work? NOT WITH FOOD! I'm so sick and tired of all the B.S. that goes on with food! I'm DONE! I have currently applied at a sports store and hopefully will apply at a telecommunication place as well. Getting around will still be tricky but there is a bus system that goes through town so hopefully I can use that.

Anyways I was having a hard time deciding when exactly to put in my notice. Then one day last week I had pretty much one of the worse days that I've had there. I wont go into it because it doesn't really matter. But I asked the manager in charge if she was looking to hire anyone for us yet (seeing how its been just 2 of us since January!) and she said "Oh...no. Not yet." I said "Well you better because I'm going to move to Utah to go to school." I had originally said the end of May. She said that she'd wait a few weeks to post the ad for hiring. Then after talking to my little sis I found out why she wanted me there earlier in the month. So after praying about it and sleeping on it I came to the conclusion that my last day should be the 3rd of May. I officially gave my 2 week notice today and I'm SO EXCITED!!!! Yesterday I did a lot of packing and need more boxes lol but yeah...I'm so excited to get out of Vegas! *sigh*

Owl City sings In Christ Alone

I think the video speaks for itself

Reposted

I am actually reposting this with names taken out

Ok so for those of you who have asked me what the heck is going on, I have decided to sit down and write it all out. So be prepared that this is more than likely going to be VERY long.


When I first came to work at _______’s on the AFB last December I was told by one of the Supervisors, P, who to watch out for and who I could trust. She told me to watch out for J because she lies and L because she was just an all around trouble maker and didn't like anyone. After a few months P transferred and so I was left "to gather my own conclusions". I, by nature, am a very loving person and can get along with usually everyone. So I befriended these two girls. J and L were in turn friends with each other. Then one day J was telling me about her adventures out the night before with L. She told me that she and L had gotten drunk and were with some "friends" and that L was flirting with other men (L is married and has a child). Then while I was in the back doing dishes J came to me & told me that I missed seeing the guys she was with the night before. A few hours later J was upset with L for one reason or another so I told her to be friendly with L but not be friends. Then L came to me upset telling me that J was a liar, that she never went out with her and that she would never flirt with someone other than her husband. And also that the guys that J told me that I missed had no clue who she was. So I was on my guard about J, but apparently not enough. A few days/weeks/months later (I can't remember the time frame) J told me that she was engaged. I was really happy for her but I noticed over the next few hours how she didn’t seem excited about being engaged & when she was asked by customers how she was, she didn’t tell them her "good news" and when I tried to hint that she was really happy, she had no clue what I was talking about. Then one day I told J about a guy that I had befriended that I thought was really cute and that we were flirting with each other. The next day L asked me about my boyfriend. I was a little upset that she had told someone so fast but I explained to L the situation. Then L proceeds to tease me all day that she doesn’t think my friend is real, that he was just pretend & that she would give me $100.00 if he showed up. The next day I was tired of her teasing so I didn’t even let her start. I was very abrupt with her & told her that I wasn’t going to play her stupid little game. She got offended that I was upset with her, so I explained that I didn’t want to talk about it with her anymore. A few days later J came to me & told me that L was talking smack about me. I tried to confirm this with my other coworkers & came to the conclusion that L was in fact talking crap about me. So for MONTHS I hated L. In August J told me that her fiancĂ© had raped her. I stopped what I was doing, took her by the shoulders and told her that she needed to tell the cops & if she didn’t, I would. Almost immediately she began to back peddle, giving lame excuses; she had a car contract with him, she didn’t have anywhere else to go, her mother didn’t believe her and that if she went to the cops, her mother wouldn’t talk to her ever again. I decided to let it go, telling her she was crazy because she was still with him. Finally L came back from vacation & I cleared things up with her (or so I thought). J’s “incident” was whispered around until my Manager came to me & told me not to believe everything I heard. I asked if she was talking about J & she said yes. She also explained that this had supposedly happened before and that she had come into work with a black eye. Everyone was so concerned for her that they went to Human Recourses & when everyone sat down & confronted her, she denied ever saying anything at all. So I was done with J at that point and started to pull away from our acquaintance. She kept saying that I was such a good friend & was glad that we were friends; all the while I kept thinking that we weren’t friends because real friends are tried, tested and found true. She was tried, tested and found severely lacking. Then I was presented with an out. I found out that another place was hiring, I talked to the Manager but she had already finished hiring. So I told her that I was interested for when she needed to hire next & that if she needed help with cakes I could help. About a month and a half went by and she approached me, telling me she still needed help and wondered if I was still interested. ABSOLUTELY! I had to wait another month and a half before I was transferred. I have been at this new place for about 3 weeks now and absolutely LOVE it! I called P and told her the good news. We chit chatted and she told me how J had come to her and said that she was tired of all the crap that was happening at _______'s and wanted to find another job. P stopped her and told her that the drama at _______’s was all her fault and that she lies to hurt people and to keep me out of it. P asked me if J had told me that they had spoken, she hadn’t. That night I was on Myspace when J sent me a message asking how I was doing, to which I responded that I was really happy. She then told me that she wished she could come work with me. I decided right then and there to confront her. I responded with “No room. Plus I talked to P. I know everything so let’s just let your stories go.” And logged off immediately. J hasn’t responded, as far as I know. Yesterday, after I got home from work I deleted & blocked her from my Facebook. The following happened:

(my status): AHHH! It’s good to be rid of liars. Now if only I didn't work in the same building as them. At least I'm FB free, right?

L wrote: “look who talking. if you dont want to work f&^% quit dont came to say rid of liars because work wth you before so becafull au you talk? and you have lazy shop wat you really want and i am going to show all people in ______'s au fake whare you"
{Rough Translation} Look who’s talking? If you don’t want to work F*&^%$# quit. Don’t say those who you worked with you before are liars and that you’re rid of them, so be careful how you talk! And you have a lazy store, what do you really want? And I’m going to tell everyone at ______’s how fake you are.

I wrote: Ok FIRST of all L if you’re going to try to cuss me out LEARN HOW TO SPELL! SECOND of all DO NOT SWEAR on my profile! THIRD of all I had NO PROBLEM with you or anyone else at ______'s except for J and YOU KNOW THAT! What I was saying is that I deleted her from my friends and blocked her so I wouldn't have to keep putting on a smile whenever I see her and pretend to care. FOURTHLY I know for a FACT that everyone at ______'s DOESN'T LIKE YOU because YOU are a JERK! You are mean and talk about EVERYONE! So even IF you did try to tell "everyone at ______'s how 'fake' I am", they already know that you’re just a sad little person who doesn't even *like* HERSELF! And you know what I like MOST about my new job? The LACK of DRAMA! I L.O.V.E. my new job because I don't have to deal with people like YOU and J! You need to GROW UP! AND you shouldn't have been so offended about this post if you had been truthful with me. Sounds to ME like you've lied to me too! The truth must hurt, doesn't it?!


A.R.: Well I certainly hope your new job hires employees with a much higher literacy rate than the last...good gracious it looks like that little girl attempted to type in another language or something. Clearly she needs to be removed as well, what a yucky person! Anyway, where is your new job at? :D

I wrote: She's from Portugal I think and so yes she did try to type in another language plus she tried to type slang so it was a train wreck. And it doesn't matter with the AF. Just as long as your background clears. But I’m still on base at RH which I L.O.V.E :D

S.H.: I agree with A to the T!

I wrote: Thank you :)

A.R.: I was just there but R.H. was closed :( Columbus Day Hahahahaa



When I got up this morning my parents said that they heard that I was mad at someone and wanted to know what was going on. I decided to get online and show them. Everything that L had posted was gone, at first I thought she had deleted them but she had deleted me from her friends. But I still had email alerts so I read to them what had happened. Then L sent me a message =


L:October 15 at 7:31am look dont talk about me to your friends , if i was try tape another linguage you dont endertensde because you so estupid, grow up you look loke child and yes my background very clean ,and you need endertensde this its not my linguage , i still learning , have your live and have my ? but dont talk s$#%
{Rough Translation} Look, don’t talk about me to your friends. I was trying to type in another language, you don’t understand because you’re so stupid. Grow up, you look like a child and yes my background is very clean. And you need to understand that this isn’t my first language, I’m still learning. You have your life and I’ll have mine! But don’t talk s%!^

I replied: October 15 at 9:29am Well isn't that the pot calling the kettle black

L: October 15 at 9:39am Report just leave me alone ok

I replied: October 15 at 9:46am Oh I will. But understand that you are the one that started this.

L: October 15 at 9:47am Report ok wat you going do about tell bossses?
{RT} Ok. What are you going to tell to the managers?

I replied: October 15 at 10:11am Do we really need to say anything? I wasn't planning on it. Let’s just leave each other alone.


After this was sent, I blocked her and made a copy of everything. J still seems clueless to the whole thing. Whatever – I am so DONE with those two! And now you know everything!
OH and a little side note; I passed on P's advice to EVERYONE who was hired after me. :D

________________________________________________________________________________

If only it had been that simple. L reported me the next day and J still didn't know until she called me and asked if I had deleted her. I explained but she didn't understand what I was saying. About a month ago she fainted at work and was taken away on a stretcher. I don't think I've seen her since.
